This little girl was, in her dad’s words… “spirited.” She woke up in between almost every pose and gave a good little cry. Luckily, her dad was so fantastic at soothing her back into a slumber, that we named him “the baby whisperer.” Mom and Dad actually came all the way down from West Point for their session …with a cadet uniform in tow! (It made for a great prop!) It was really fun collaborating with this sweet little girl’s mom on the look of the session and the various props. They also brought pink roses and hydrangeas for the session…I love it! And, as you can see in the last shot, big brother was also on hand for a handsome portrait with his baby sister. A beautiful family indeed and a fun session…

In my continued effort to catch up on my blogging, I’d like to share this little beauty from the summer. This little guy was only a week old and he stayed very comfy and cozy for almost the whole shoot. Mom also had the cutest selection of props and accessories…like this owl hat. Say it with me….”aaaaaaw!”

And so just you don’t think he wasn’t having any fun…

In addition to catching up on beach sessions, I have lots of newborn sessions from the summer that I’ve neglected to blog. So stay tuned – in the next few weeks, I am going to play catch up.

I’ll start with this beautiful little boy… he surprised us by arriving a bit earlier than expected, but was a good little sleeper, which always makes things go more smoothly. Mom was a great help, especially with the hammock shot, which we were both determined to get. And I just love the sepia-toned image of him in the little flyer hat…what a little sweetie!

This little girl decided to arrive early. So small and delicate, she was a dream to photograph. She slept for the whole session and barely fussed one bit. Just when we started the bowl shot, she started waking up – hungry! So I had to work fast…but she stayed still just long enough…

This precious little baby girl was one of my first newborn shoots of the summer and let me tell ya, it was a hot one!! As babies tend to sleep much better in the heat, I asked mom to turn off the AC so we could get her groggy for the session. Well, she fell asleep and stayed in a deep slumber the whole time as I sweat bullets, but the results were well worth it. She is beautiful, just like her mommy, and I love the image of the two of them; we decided to get that pose at the last minute and sometimes those end up being some of the best ones! Hope you enjoy the rest of your summer girls…

What’s Blooming this Spring?…a “Little Bit Older” Mini-Session!

Here’s how it works, after you have completed one full portrait session, you are eligible to add-on a special mini-session anytime within one calendar year. This “Little-Bit-Older” session will include 10-15 images in a password protected gallery and will cost just $175. For full details just contact me.

Brand New… | NJ Newborn Photographer | Morris County New Jersey

Christine — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 00:42:22 +0000

Six days young, this brand new little one was tiny and precious. I kept marveling at his perfect features…they truly were. He seemed a good sleeper too, so I thought I’d use the latest in my never-ending search for cool newborn props…a beautifully crafted wooden chair. I love it – and I think he looks downright comfy in it too. Look at his little smile. He stayed peaceful and sleepy for the whole session…looking angelic in the different wraps and cocoons, but I just love how he looks in his daddy’s arms in the black and whites below. And I daresay the last shot would bring a smile to almost anyone’s face. Take a look and see…

This spring we have some exciting new plans in the works here at Christine DeSavino Photography, and earlier this month we announced the first bloom of the season with our Baby’s First Year Plan. Well now with our second bloom we have the perfect compliment to a baby package or a newborn session. In fact it’s the perfect companion to any portrait session that celebrates a special event in the life of a child…

Blossom Two: a Custom Gift Registry

Specifically designed for baby showers, baptisms, birthdays, and bar mitzvahs… simply provide me with a list of your closest friends and relatives and I will send out a tasteful email announcing that you have scheduled a portrait session with me and signed up for my gift registry. Friends and loved ones can then purchase gift certificates to apply towards your order. Contact me for complete details on this complimentary service, and don’t worry, I give you my promise that I will not solicit nor share the email addresses of your friends with anyone.

And keep checking back as there are more buds about to burst here at our studio!

What’s Blooming this Spring?…a Baby Plan!

Christine — Thu, 05 May 2011 21:07:05 +0000

Here at Christine DeSavino Photography we’ve been working hard at putting together some exciting new plans to better serve our clients,
and we’re ready to start announcing what’s now in bloom…

Blossom One: Baby’s First Year Plan

Many of you who follow my photography know how much I adore newborn sessions….there’s nothing more special to me than capturing the purity of a new little one. The first few days of an infant’s life are so precious and endearing, but equally remarkable is the baby’s entire first year. From holding up their head to rolling over, from beginning to crawl to walking and eventually cruising all over the house, a baby will grow more during this first year than any other time in their life. And it goes by so quickly…

So to commemorate this treasured time, I’ve created a brand new plan that will capture and celebrate each milestone of a baby’s first year.

Here are the details of my Baby Plan:

one full newborn session within the first 10 days of birth
one full 6-month-old session (or around the time your baby begins to crawl)
one full 12-month-old session (or around the time your baby begins to criuse, this is the perfect time for a Cake Smash Session!)
optional mini-sessions at 3 & 9 months (or when your baby holds their head up & when your baby begins to walk)
optional maternity-mini-session
each full session is priced at a discount
each full session comes with a $100 complimentary Fine Art Canvas Credit, mini-sessions come with a $50 credit
the completed baby plan comes with a $300 complimentary Album Credit
over $600 worth of built in savings!

And in order to help our plan to grow…

the first 5 people who book my Baby Plan during the month of May will receive:

1 free box of Birth Announcement Cards at completion of their Newborn Session
1 free 20×20 Storyboard commemorating each stage of their child’s first year at completion of the baby plan

For full details and pricing, please call me at 917-697-1835 or contact me here.

And keep checking back as there are more buds about to burst here at our studio!
